7. That Which I See Not Teach Thou Me The knowledge which you have of yourself, or of your inner existence differs according to its source; a part of it you acquired yourself, and a part of it you received from God. If you ask wherein these two parts of your self-knowledge differ, then call […]

Hearken Unto Me, My People. Give Heed To Me, O Lord! by Abraham Kuyper

6. Hearken Unto Me, My People. Give Heed To Me, O Lord! In times past it was commonly believed that sound itself came from the throat, and that its power was but limited. Hence a word could only be heard at a short distance, farther away it could not be heard, and so we were […]

Over at Reformation 21, Jon Payne has written this post on the subject of sanctification, as it is described in the Heidelberg Catechism (HC). This document, written primarily by Zacharius Ursinus in 1563, is one of the Three Forms of Unity, which together serve as the Continental Reformed counterpart to the British Westminster Standards. Some […]

5. When He Turneth Himself Unto Prayer How is this? Does the Lord turn Himself unto our prayer only after long delay? Is not He omnipresent? Is not every whispered and stammering prayer known to Him, before there is yet a word in the tongue? How then can the All-knowing One at first indifferently stand […]

July 11, 2014 5 Comments
Immigration reform has been a major topic of discussion for quite a while, but it seems to have gained a bit more attention lately. First I heard about InterVarsity Press’s release of Immigration: Tough Questions, Direct Answers by Dale Hanson Bourke, and then last week I read this interview of Bourke at Christianity Today. And then today, I […]

Look at all of these lost souls. There must be some way of getting through to them! But they’re bored with the gospel. They’ve heard it plenty of times before, and they just don’t care about the message of salvation by grace through faith. The church needs a new approach for a new generation… I […]

4. In The Covert Of Thy Wings THE deepest question that governs our Christian life is that which touches our personal fellowship with God. And in the Book of Psalms, which is the richest outpouring of a devout heart, you see how the inmost longings ever and again go out after this Divine fellowship. Certainly […]
Continue readingDoes Evolution Explain Religious Beliefs?
July 10, 2014 2 Comments
I just finished reading this interview at The Stone, where Gary Cutting talks with philosopher Dr. Michael Ruse about atheism, evolution, and religious belief. I must admit, I found Ruse’s comments to be surprisingly refreshing. Even though he’s a committed atheist, he exhibits none of the scorn or sarcasm of the Richard Dawkins-types (in fact, he expresses […]

Over at The Anxious Bench, Thomas Kidd has written this post discussing four groups of people who are commonly—and erroneously—labeled “evangelical.” Theological liberals. Often these folks come out of mainline Protestant denominations, but many are now associated with the emergent church movement. Reformed/confessionalist Christians (like myself). It might surprise some readers to learn that this […]

3. Not Rich Toward God Jesus understood the seriousness of the conflict between God and money, which constantly presses itself upon us; and one may safely say, that in our Western lands this conflict is more fierce than it ever was in the Eastern regions where Jesus ministered. and where the ordinary wants of life […]
